This group sounded similar to Malicorne, playing mainly acoustic folk with a lot of traditional instruments. ‘L'Hirondelle’ has many beautiful moments, sometimes reminding one of a French Tir Na Nog (their first album). Recommended! The very rare second album is more adventurous, utilising more synthesizers.
